Horse Slaughterhouses May Face Charges Unless They Close

Thanks to the New York Sun and bless the judges. This is an inhumane practice and not fit for Americian soil. Surely the ILL. plant will be under the gun next-- Hopefully, we will take it a step farther and pass laws making it illegal to transport horses for sale for humane consumption, which will keep our horses from going to Mexico and Canada. On the upside, last fall I outbid our local killer buyer and came home with a very scared and over weight mare(they like the fat ones). Well, she surprised me yesterday and gave birth to a beautiful tri-colored overo baby. Mama and baby are doing great, but I cringe when I think of their fate had I not been there that day, because it was only me and him bidding. Her big beautful eyes say volumes when she come to get a handful of grain, or just a pet and a love.
